Chapter 246 - Not As Beautiful As My Wife…

Adrianna was surprised that Dmitri had taken her to a jewelry shop. "Why are we here?" she asked. 

"Well, ever since we have been married, I have hardly taken my wife to buy some jewelry. I've heard that women love buying jewelry. My mother had given a lot of money to Keisha to buy jewelry before. I heard that she bought a lot of it. So, I guess it is time that my wife also learns to buy it." 

Adrianna chuckled, "I can be very expensive, you see."

"Done!"

The store manager offered a general seat for them to sit. He saw that such a young couple had come to the shop, and they were just window shopping. So he wasn't even bothered to attend to them. There was another middle-aged couple who were trying out various necklaces. The wife would look at them and say, "Please, keep this one aside." She must have asked them to keep at least five diamond necklaces on the side. 

Adrianna looked at her with wide eyes. "My god! They are so rich!" 

There was another salesman attending to them and he got very happy that his customer was going to buy so much. 

Dmitri looked at Adrianna and said, "What would you like to buy?"

Adrianna looked blank. She shrugged and said, "I have no idea… haven't ever worn even a ring on my finger…"

"Okay, let's start with a ring," he said and turned to the salesman. "Do you have solitaire diamonds?" 

"Of course, we do. Our shop sells one of the best solitaire diamonds. But the thing is that they are very expensive. Should I show you something of a lower price range?" he was clearly condescending. 

Dmitri narrowed his eyes and said in a very firm voice, "Show us solitaires please."

The salesman uninterestedly got up and went to fetch some tiny solitaire for them. However, when he reached the locker where they were stored, he had an idea to teach those kids a lesson. He took some of the expensive and big ones that were available in the showroom. He chuckled as he imagined the faces of those plainly dressed kids who thought they could buy everything in the showroom. He hated the way the boy asked for diamonds. "Hmph!" he made a face and went to the place they were sitting. 

Then he displayed the tray of rings that had large diamonds on them. Adrianna was wide-eyed. She had never seen so many diamonds in her life, let alone those large ones. Each one of them was the size of one centimeter. Dmitri picked the largest one and brought it near his wife's hand. He slid it on her finger. It looked so beautiful that Adrianna was amazed. She brought her hand to her eyes and looked at the ring on her finger, stunned at its beauty. Her face glowed in admiration. "It's so beautiful…" 

"Not as beautiful as my wife…" replied Dmitri, looking with admiration at his wife's reaction. 

The salesman said, "That diamond costs one million dollars." 

Adrianna's little face fell. She brought her hand to remove it, but Dmitri stopped her. "Keep wearing."

The salesman narrowed his eyes and became angry. He wanted to scold those kids but then he thought of even greater idea of insulting them. He would allow them to wear all they wanted and then show them their place by counting the money. He laughed inside. 

Dmitri turned to look at him and said, "We want to also see necklaces. Only diamond necklaces."

The salesman again went to the lockers and this time, he brought the most expensive necklace that they had in their shop. It consisted of a string of diamonds and each rock in that string costed half a million dollars. Nobody had the capacity to buy that necklace. He really wanted to make a joke out of them. 

Once again, Dmitri picked it and made Adrianna wear it. Adrianna pulled her hair up as she allowed him to fasten it around her neck. Once again she fell in love with it. What was it with diamonds and a girl, eh? The attraction was natural. 

Over the next half an hour, Adrianna was wearing more jewelry than she could have ever imagined. There were diamonds shimmering all around her – earrings, bangles, anklets and even a toe ring. The middle-aged couple who was previously buying gold necklaces looked at her. She was looking majestic. The diamonds glittered all around her and reflected the seven colors of light on her white and flawless skin. 

Dmitri watched his wife as he decorated her from top to bottom. "Can you think of any other jewelry item?" he asked Adrianna.

"Dmitri, I didn't even know that all of these even existed," she laughed as she stood up from her chair and swirled around. She rarely felt so ecstatic. She didn't expect him to buy anything other than the ring. She chuckled at her ambitions regarding him. 

Dmitri took out his wallet and turned to the salesman, "Bill all of these on this card."
